Tank Girl is Back in Tank Girl Solid State

Solid State Tank Girl #1

She’s baaaack. The irreverent, obnoxious, ultimate contemporary female comic book anti-hero and cultural icon, Tank Girl has returned. And she’s brought her favorite friends along for the fun, Jet Girl, Booga, and Barney in Tank Girl: Solid State. If you aren’t familiar with Tank Girl, or only know her from that love it or hate it [...]

Cult “Well Hey, These Things Just Snap Right Off”

Cult

If you’ve been watching Arrow, Supernatural, Vampire Diaries or other CW fare, you have probably been inundated during the commercial breaks with cryptic snippets and the hashtag #DoNotWatch flashing across your screen for the new show Cult.  I have to admit, the promo pieces piqued my curiosity and the one with the girl stuck in the car with the oncoming [...]

A Demonic and Hellish Valentine – Lo

Lo

Not all of us are Valentine’s Day devotees. Some of us find joy in yelling “Happy VD” on February 14 or wearing an old school Sid and Nancy “Love Kills” shirt (or maybe that was just me in high school).  Whether you are sad to be unattached, just don’t dig commercial greeting card created holidays, [...]

CHEW Volume 6 Space Cakes

Toni Chu is always having fun in the pages of CHEW

  Toni Chu is always having fun in the pages of CHEW CHEW has officially reached its halfway point (cue the tears).  The Eisner Award-winning comic book by John Layman and Rob Guillory  is one of my life’s greatest joys, and I am making it my mission to introduce CHEW to everyone who enjoys a side of [...]

Good Girls Gone Geek 12 Days of Geekmas Gift Ideas!

RickGrimesFunko

Christmas is right around the corner.  I’ve been cranking Guster’s Tiny Tree (a few years later and that Target commercial still makes me cry). Proffitt and I are almost done with Christmas cards and still racking our brains for last minute gift ideas so you might not have to.  We promise a broad range of prices because [...]

Reviewer’s Word: Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2- The High Cost of No Cost

One of the Movie Posters

I am not a fan of the Twilight film franchise. I do not foresee myself reading any Stephanie Meyer book, ever. However, I would never want to truly disparage an entire fandom. I adore Supernatural and that certainly takes away some nerd cred in some eyes. I am sure the Twilight characters and stories Meyer [...]

The Walking Dead: Three in to Season Three

What will happen when/if Daryl and Merle are reunited?  Will they hug it out, or will there be fisticuffs?

Three episodes into The Walking Deadseason three and the panicky sense of foreboding is sinking in. Having read Robert Kirkman’s comic books, I am mired in the horrific possibilities of loss of limbs and cast members. If you haven’t caught up on this season yet, there will be spoilers. At the end of season two, [...]

Top Five Creepy TV Shows You May Not Have Seen

eerie

There have been numerous television shows that have delved into other worldly realms. Most are lucky to last a full season regardless of how good they are, but there are some that gain network confidence and are able to continue on for years with just a cult following.  Just in time for Halloween, here is [...]

CW’s Arrow Lands a Near Bullseye

From weightlossandtraining.com

Other than some minor digging when I read the show was on the CW schedule, and some familiarity with Oliver Queen from one of the few episodes of Smallville I have seen, I am a stranger to DC’s Green Arrow character.  After last night’s debut of Arrow, I may have to amend that situation.  If [...]

A Night Unchained (AKA, Bex and Proffitt Meet Neil Gaiman)

unchained_2

Sometimes, you never know where life will take you. Who knew a last minute musical gig involving the Charles In Charge theme song would lead to the apex of  fan girl experience? A few lines of “I want Charles in charge of me,” an exchange of weekend plans, and five days later my husband received [...]

Spike #2 A Dark Place A Surprisingly Poignant Read

morris cover

Dark Horse’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9, Spike #2 is quite a roller coaster read.  “After parting ways with the love of his life, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Spike has taken himself far away from San Francisco.  He can’t just be Buffy’s only-in-desperate-circumstances fallback guy. His way of coping with the endless heartbreak? Head [...]

Mind the Gap #5- “Portrait of the Con Artist”

mind gap

Jim McCann’s comic book Mind the Gap has received lots of hype. My partner in crime at Good Girls Gone Geek and fellow nerd here, Proffitt, did a great interview with Jim you can find here. I hate to admit I have not had the opportunity to read any of his work yet, so I jumped [...]

Grant Morrison Gets Happy!

cover

Grant Morrison described his newest venture for Image Comics as “Sin City meets It’s A Wonderful Life,” however, I was not expecting the turn that issue #1 took. It is a crazy trip and I would love to see the look on every reader’s face as they come to find where those feathers featured falling on the cover are [...]

Reviewer’s Word: Resident Evil: Retribution

resident evil global

Let me first say to the ladies and any male fans of cosmetics – rest assured, apparently even after a zombie apocalypse, there is an abundance of hair dye and eyeliner. Movie goers will either love Resident Evil: Retribution or hate it.  The franchise has proven to be fairly polarizing and this fifth installment is no exception. [...]

Autumn in Nerdville – How Bex Plans to Spend Her Season

Seeing this picture kind of made me miss the old Who credits where they showed the Doctor's head at the end. Memories...

Football season has started, the weather has the slightest chill, and there are not multiple movies being released each week that I want to see. It’s fall! It’s time to take a step back and take a deep breath and then start catching up on everything that we missed in the hustle bustle of summer [...]

Chew #28 Space Cakes Part 3 of 5 Reviewed

chew

It is certainly no secret I totally have a fan girl crush on John Layman and Rob Guillory’s CHEW comic book. In fact, if this were Pewee’s Playhouse, Pewee would be telling me to marry it. Issue #28 “Space Cakes” is third in a five part arc and it just gets a bit more bizarre as you go along and [...]

Supernatural 8 Preview-”Their Fate Will Be Written In Stone”

supernatural season 8

CW has released a long promotional video for Supernatural‘s upcoming eighth season. One thing fans of the show know is that the powers that be at Supernatural cut some awesome promo videos (remember this one).  This one is a little bit of a let down without a classic song accompanying it, but it has me starting to [...]

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters-Trailer is Out

hsp

Honestly, I’ve been ready for Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters since Syfy’s 2012 knockoff Witchslayer Gretyl starring Shannen Doherty. Plus, this one has Jeremy Renner. I’m there. Opening night. With a smile. I can’t say it looks like a great film but it looks fun and action packed.  Costarring Famke Janssen, Gemma Arterton,  and the “tall witch” is [...]

Abrams and Eric Kripke series Revolution here at NBC.com before its official September 17 premiere date. The first [...]

Reviewer’s Word: The Possession

poster

If you are like me, you’ve scrolled through popular auction sites and have seen bizarre things up on the block such as “ I dug this jar up from a local cemetery and since I’ve had it, strange things are happening.”  Sam Raimi read a 2004 LA Times article “A Jinx in a Box” and [...]
